ActiveMedia to Be Showcased at the Museum Computer Network Conference WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ClearStory Systems (OTC:CSYS) (BULLETIN BOARD: CSYS) , a leading provider of digital asset management (DAM) solutions, announces significant track record in helping museums and galleries to manage and deliver their digital collections. ActiveMedia will be showcased at the 33rd annual Museum Computer Network Conference -- "Preserving Knowledge into the Future" from November 2-5 in Boston, MA. Among the customers to choose ActiveMedia as its digital asset management software are the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum associated with Leiden University and Leuven University. At the conference, ClearStory will be demonstrating how ActiveMedia helps museums and galleries manage digital assets and the workflow processes involved in preserving and archiving museum digital collections. Through leveraging the value of digital media, museums are now able to align their cultural and organizational goals with their business goals. The Brooklyn Museum, after a comprehensive evaluation of multiple DAM vendors, recently chose ActiveMedia 7.0 as its high-performance, enterprise-class application for managing valuable assets, including images of Museum objects; research materials from library, archives, and curatorial collections; and photographs of events, activities, and the Museum building. "After looking at many candidates, from library/archive packages to several commercial DAM systems, we selected ClearStory's ActiveMedia to fulfill our need for a repository, management, and delivery package for images and related metadata. Technical considerations such as security, permissions, metadata structure, workflow capabilities, and database platform played a large part in the decision," said Deborah Wythe, Head of Digital Collections and Services for the Brooklyn Museum. "We hope to harness those capabilities to provide access to a wide variety of images and metadata as we implement the system over the next several months." Leiden University is using ActiveMedia for a collaborative project between libraries and museums in Holland and Belgium to improve the exchange of academic research and expand the global access to historic cultural works, including one-of-a-kind photo assets within its Japanology of the Low Lands (JLL) collection. ActiveMedia preserves collection assets and facilitates global exchange of academic research, a shared digital classroom and distance learning environment. "We've developed ActiveMedia to help organizations work smarter, capitalize on their assets, and maximize their return on investment by providing a truly innovative, enterprise-class system at an affordable price point," said Henry F. Nelson, president and CEO. "We're pleased we can offer museums the option of a hosted or installed solution, both of which can be up and running in a matter of weeks."
